Abstract
A steering locking apparatus for a vehicle is designed in such a way that the rotation of a key rotor located at an unlocking position to a locked position by the rotation of a key is prevented by a restricting lever and the prevention of the rotation of the key rotor is removed by pressing a pressing button so as to allow the key rotor to be rotated to the locked position. In a state wherein the pressing of the pressing button is prevented by operating an electromagnetic solenoid under predetermined conditions and thereby engaging a plunger supported by a plunger of the electromagnetic solenoid with the pressing button, the load applied to the pressing button is received by a car body through the stopper plate. In consequence, no load is exerted on the plunger.
